Let’s get into the nuts and bolts of how to do it. You don’t want them to reject it before trying it as nobody likes change (except guys like us that attempt these projects). I suggest transition them slowly over a few days period once you have all of this working. Essentially I save around $50 per month in DVR/Set top box fees for around a $150 investment depending on what hardware you already have.ĭid I mention it is really cool? Tip: you may want to keep your cable boxes or current setup in the interim while getting this going so you don’t upset the wife or kids. It also allows me to still have all the DVR/Program guide functionality we are accustomed to without paying the fees to my cable provider along with their box on each TV.Condense remotes (everything is integrated through one box).I already have XBMC boxes in different flavors on every tv in my house so this setup saves me from changing TV inputs to another set top box provided by my cable provider.My experience with running live tv through my XBMC or now known as Kodi boxes has been very favorable.
